- Maria Montessori was born in Chtaravalle, in Italy on 31st August 18'(0. In

spite of discouragement from all quarters, Maria became the first woman

medical graduate from the University of Rome. In those days women were

not enrolled at medical colleges.

After her medical education she was made incharge of an Institute for

mentally retarded children. In those days people believed that mentally

retarded children could not learn anything. So no one taught them

anything -even simple things like attending to their needs and changing,

their dresses. During her work in the institution, Maria observed these

children very carefully and saw that these children seemed to find out for

themselves about many things. They would reach out for anything they

found, turn it around, see its shape etc. She concluded that given propertraining and attention these childre~ could be taught to take care of Jasic·

needs and also some of them could pass the reading and writing test as

ordinary children.

Maria taught the children to distinguish between colours, sound, smells

and tastes. She made frames with button holes and b~ttons to teach

children how to tie shoe laces. Her methods worked well and soon the

children were able to do many things on their own.'Maria thought that her

method could be extended to be useful to ordinary children too. So Maria

opened the first school in the slums of Rome for children between threeand six years. She called her school 'Casa Di Bambini' ( Italian for

"Children's House" ). She applied her rnedtcal and psychological knowledge

and experience for proper training for riormal children. She noted that

when a child is really interested in the exercise he had chosen, he would

become completely absorbed and could not be distracted. The child thus,

learnt from actually enjoying what he was doing.

Dr. Maria found that children were ready for different tasks at different

stages and that they needed the right exercise at the' right stage. A

Montessorte teacher's job was not to tell children what to do but to

recognise in which stage the child was and to guide"him. Also children

,should be free to move about. They should not be pinned to their seats.

Children became self-reliant and independent with this method.

The children were not given any punishment in a Montessori School

because even if a child behaved badly at first, when he became engrossed

in the activity of his choice, he would be quiet and settle down.

Maria believed that all human beings passed through a certain set stages

~f psychological developme~t. Differences were mainly because of the

opportunities offered by the environment in which they were brought up as

a child.
